			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the 14th July 2010 we  visited Hill Crest School in Dudley to deliver a one day meditation  workshop to a group of 22 Year 9 Students entitled:<strong> Healthy Minds  &amp; Social Enterprise</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mindspace.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/meditationinschools.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2530" title="meditationinschools" src="http://www.mindspace.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/meditationinschools.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="253" /></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Here are some of the comments from  the students who participated on this successful one day workshop:</p>
<p><em><strong>How did you find the session?</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>“It makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Anybody can meditate!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Meditation can help you to  concentrate”</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Meditation helps you draw closer  to yourself”</strong></p>
<p><strong>“Meditation helps you to become  stress free with nothing to worry about”<br />

<p><strong>Mind Space&#8217;s visited  Queen Mary&#8217;s Grammar Girls School to introduce the practice of Meditation to Year 12 Students</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">A group of 120 students and staff and several distinguished members of the local community all had the opportunity to be guided through a guided meditation.  Many of the students found calm within and enjoyed the session.</span></p>
<p><strong>_____________________________________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mind Space visited Aldridge School to introduce the practice of Meditation to Year 10 students.</strong></p>
<p>The sessions included an introduction to meditation, 10 minutes of guided meditation and an opportunity to explore creative communication techniques.  There were four separate groups with around 40 students in each group.  Responding exceptionally well to the practices to the delight of some of the teachers!</p>
<p>Out of around 150 students &#8211; 50% would like to experience the session and meditate again.</p>
<p>When asked: &#8221; Do you think meditation would help your work and studies&#8221;    the answer that came back from the group was &#8220;Yes it would help set your mind more to work&#8221;</p>
<p>Here are some of the things they said about the sessions at the end.</p>
<p>Enthralling<br />
Calming<br />
Relaxing<br />
Weird<br />
Mentally Challenging<br />
Peaceful<br />
Helpful<br />
Felt sleepy<br />
Was something different<br />
Opportunity to focus</p>
<p>Some of the students  found it a little difficult and unusual but nevertheless enjoyed the experience &#8211; some found it funny as it was the first time they had engaged in such practices.</p>
